Yes, but immediately after, they had that survey. I wonder if the results shown that an overwhelming or solid majority objected to it. EDIT: I could see that effecting decisions.

And if that doesn't work, you could threaten them with some Yoko Ono! EDIT: Or Michael Bolton.

I wonder how this will effect South Park: The Stick of Truth. If you're a console player, it might almost be worth getting it digitally instead of a hard copy if that will be the only real way you would be able to play it on the new systems. More so it seems with the PS4 with the information that is out so far. I just hope it will be compatible still with DirectX 9c. I just want to keep using XP.

Strangely enough; it got me thinking of the arks in Rage, but with irradiated soda. As a slight correction, it was The Chosen One in Fallout 2.

The problem is, tying it in and integrating it so much with Steamworks, can limit what they can do with it outside of it, with GOG ect... Meanwhile, offline Steam just lost my login information after 2 weeks and change, causing me to have to bring my computer in a lot earlier than I was expecting. Oh well, at least DeathQuaker directed me as to how I can fix that. I wasn't even supposed to be here today! EDIT: But that PE update was pretty sweet.

I'm sure they exhausted all DRM-free options before going with this. EDIT: I just hope they don't block features/don't give us the editor if we choose to go DRM-free.

15 pounds for what looks like an RPG Maker game? Wow! This guy is charging $1-$4 for his. That one by the students I think is really to go help buy new computers or something. An okay work around IMHO. Thanks for the enlightenment. Not a problem. I mean, the guy has probably spent a lot of time on it. It might be one of the stronger ones that come out for an RPG Maker game. But $23 (converted) for just the game? His Steam Greenlight page has been up since the new year. There is a demo there. EDIT: Added Steam link, and below comment -------- His risks and challenges at the bottom of the Kickstarter seems weird to me I'd swear I've seen more of these games now, than ever. Even during the 16-bit days.

Interestingly enough, Arcanum is the spiritual successor to this old commercial: #StupidEasyToIgnoreFatigueMeter

Because I asked because I couldn't find it, and they answered- Bloom: Memories will be DRM free.

My problems with 80s conservatism is that economically they took it too far, too fast and got those huge deficits as a result. Reagan/HW Bush pulled back on them a bit. Mulroney introduced the GST. Thatcher introduced the Poll Tax. (Yes I'm spinning and simplifying a bit.) It moved a lot of the tax burden on to the lower and middle classes. Plus, I think in the long run we play more when we privatize essential services and products that are essential to our economy. Competition is fine, helps lower prices and makes companies work harder and smarter for your dollar, but when those same companies are allowed to keep merging into bigger companies, there is less competition and more collusion. Do you have any idea how many years it's been since I've been on a political forum? You go away for a while, and realize that Bill Maher bubble is so true (for all political groups.) What it looks like in there after a bit of a vacation can be kinda scary.

Naturally. When the price goes down, the demand goes up. It helps create impulse buying. But I still won't buy a game on Steam, or any other DR service if it is available DRM-free on GOG. Heck, I'll buy games I already own in there when they're on sale, because to me it's worth getting rid of the headache of trying to get them to work, usually though patches, compatibility modes and/or emulators. So if Steam has a $30 game on sale for say $7.50, and GOG has it on for $10, and I really want it, I'll go the GOG route.

Really though, dogs stock have dropped ever since Columbo got his. Isn't that right boy? Stay!

EA didn't make history being the first company to repeat, you at home made history. I loved that meme last year.

15 pounds for what looks like an RPG Maker game? Wow! This guy is charging $1-$4 for his. That one by the students I think is really to go help buy new computers or something. An okay work around IMHO. I mean, come on. I paid $3 (regular price) for the Zeboyd Games combo of Breath of Death 7, and Cthulhu Saves the World. They charge $5 for Penny Arcade's Rain Slick 3 where two groups need to get paid. If the story looks really good and long with original music, I could see maybe spending $10 to Kickstart it. But goodness, it's a 16 bit-like hobby game (I hope it's a hobby [or something one had done while unemployed,] and not something one quit their job to do). Thanks to programs such as RPG Maker, they're nice and relatively easy to do. EDIT: I'm not sure about the program Zeboyd uses, but it's not RPG Maker.

There's certainly nothing wrong with promoting organizations such as Big Brothers/Big Sisters and the United Way and the work they do in that area. Usually wacko's are asked to leave if they start giving organizations a bad name. Problems can arise when you embrace the wacko.

EDIT: Snipped. Looked worse when I read it than what was in my head. Huge flame bait possibility. More so than my usual sarcasm.

Before last fall when I hadn't had a working computer for years, I heard the argument that the reason why a lot of people pirate games and will illegally download them and stuff is because they want to get around all of the stupid DRM that they have implemented which affects the game itself. I always thought that was mostly BS, lets call a spade a spade and they just want the game for free. Last summer my XBox crapps out. I get a used computer in the fall and pump a couple of GB of ram and a video card to replace it instead. The first two games I buy are FO:NV UE and Borderlands GOTY. Basically the full two versions of the games I wanted to get for my XBox to upgrade from the vanilla versions. I never used Steam before, and spent a wee bit of time, but I got it going just fine. Picked up FO3:GOTY while I was at it on Stram, because I couldn't find it for PC here, other than with Oblivion. Virtually no problems. I find Steam's offline mode annoying when it logs me out, but fortunately someone here has directed me to finding a fix for that. Otherwise, I've been lugging my computer every month to my parents just to log back in. Then I tried installing Borderlands. First of all, my video card is an ATI, and it seems to like Nvidia more. That seemed to be part of the problem about why I couldn't install it. I went on the website forums. I upgraded Windows Installer, copied the disc onto the HD, edited some file that had to do with ATI in there, put it on several different hard drive directories, and different hard drives to boot. Finally someone said something along the lines of: Just type this out in your run command: (and gave some command that forced Windows to install it without using the installer.) Over 2 hours later, I got the base game installed so that way I could then install the DLC on the second disc. Then I understood why they say that the reason why they pirate games is because of the DRM. I still think that most of them just want the game for free anyways, but I could totally get why they say that. This is the main reason why I love GOG so much. I install it, and when it's done, it runs. No worries, no fuss (Well, one of my Battle Chess's doesn't like to run.) I download it from my parents computer, put it on a flash drive, and take it home. I will buy from GOG over anywhere else for this reason alone. Plus, it's extremely easy to back up in case I want to delete it from my computer, and reinstall it later. With the Indie sale that was just on Steam, I asked myself before buying any game no matter the price: Is it on GOG as well? If it was, I didn't buy it. GOG offers a much better service IMHO. It will also effect what I will help on Kickstarter (Even though the last two that I'm supporting right now: Big Blue and Bloom haven't given any indication that I've seen that they will be DRM free. Perhaps someone here supporting Bloom can let me know if they've asked already or know the answer. But to me there's a huge difference between those two games, then just about any thing else I've seen.) Every other campaign that I have supported now through Kickstarter, or through PayPal have a DRM-free option which I assume is GOG for everybody. Not 100% sure on Delvers Drop yet. To bring it directly on topic here to this. There are those that will steal, and will never pay for any reason. There are those that will pay something if they really want to support you because the developer reached out to them. See: Hotline Miami I'm sure there are those that buy the game, then go download a pirated version because of the DRM. Therefore, they've already bought it. People got their money. They've just had to go through the pain in the butt annoyance of an unnecessary download, probably taking up from their download monthly limit. If Obsidian does anything for P:E that I will have to lug my computer in for to activate the entire game, it will annoy me. I'll still buy their games, I enjoy them a lot. What it will effect is how much money people will give them in the future. I want to be able to uninstall my game, and reinstall it years down the road on another computer because my old one crapped out, and be able to play the whole game, with every outfit or whatnot. To do anything to curb that, is not a good thing.

All of our male politicians should be like this:

"C'mon guys, at least it won't RROD anymore promised!" Semi-comfirmed rumor: This time, it will be a square!

^^^^^^ What do you expect? The poster said MCA was giving a speech. Instead, it turned out to be a typo and it was some MRA person instead. I'm surprised it wasn't like Vancouver after they lose another Cup final.

Not a fan of that dude. Is he still alive even? Kenny will never die. He knows when to hold them AND he knows when to fold them. The secret? He never folds.

I always assumed it was just a shout out to your favorite Kenny Rogers song. I used to be called Ijustdroppedintoseewhatconditionmyconditionwasinbabaganoosh13, but then the internet started limiting the number of characters a username could be.

...only to come back to BoA foreclosing your office building, even though EA doesn't do business with them, and it's in Canada.

http://consumerist.com/2013/04/08/worst-company-in-america-final-death-match-bank-of-america-vs-ea-part-ii/ The finals are on. As a friendly reminder, this year: Nobody from EA stole my muscle car Nobody from EA replaced my bank machine with a different one with higher fees Nobody from EA screwed up my order so I owed $14,500 more than it should have been Nobody from EA demands to speak to my dead mother about payment that she has missed since her death, and will only talk to her about it despite receiving 4 copies of her death certificate including one by hand. ect.. ect... ect... EA DID however should have called the newest Sim City, Sim City Online and screwed up that launch. Dead Space 3 wasn't as scary as the other two, and Micro-transactions kinda suck in a single player game. On the other hand, Origin doesn't log me out of offline mode. #bias #howtheheckdidticketmasternotdoalotmorethanthat

I'm a strong advocate of verbally bashing any politician, living or dead, regardless of political stripes. Except for John Williams. I also like my local MP, he's certainly not above criticism, however.
